Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Ellenbrook Build - Starting Up 362Dec 04, 2014 7:24 pm Well there was a stuff up again....driveway delayed. All needs to be done is the driveway, garage door and front security screens. Really could all be done in a day. Can i ask you, where is your water meter located? Is it on the driveway? Re: Ellenbrook Build - Starting Up 363Dec 05, 2014 7:51 am No my water meter is to the side of my drive way. They had to flip my house plans so the driveway didnt go over it. Gosh Commodore are proving to be useless theyve taken way to long on a another house down our street aswell Re: Ellenbrook Build - Starting Up 364Dec 08, 2014 12:58 pm Well im hoping the issues we have right now get sorted today so all we have to get done is the driveway and garage door. Its cutting it way too close for my liking. If we get PCI by end of the week then i got a week for the bank paperwork to be sorted. Final stretch. Re: Ellenbrook Build - Starting Up 366Dec 08, 2014 4:28 pm Thanks for the great update! Thought i would get a phone call stating they have started but thats good news. That will be done later today and maybe....garage door, but moreso tomorrow i hope along with some site cleaning there on after. Re: Ellenbrook Build - Starting Up 368Dec 10, 2014 12:54 am Just as i thought it couldnt get worse it does... Well we wont be moving in till next year now. Was told today that the plumbing is actually not 100% finished and that we still dont have any bathroom basins and a few other things still have to be done. So here we sit second Christmas without a house. All this time being told it will be before Christmas and that all is left is the paving and the garage door, then they pull this stunt. Just speechless honestly. Don't know what to say now. Re: Ellenbrook Build - Starting Up 369Dec 10, 2014 7:07 am I shocked and saddend for you guys I seen the site supervisor there yesterday and I was tempted to say something at how slow the two builds down our street have been. Have you been asvised what has happend with your drive way? I had a quick look yesterday and due to your water meter they have had to cut part of your driveway short, I havent looked properly but Im wondering if it affects getting your car in? I'll have a better look tonight when Im home. Re: Ellenbrook Build - Starting Up 370Dec 10, 2014 10:07 am I had a look at the picture that they posted on the internet portal of the driveway, i see that it is cut a little bit. I will have a better look when i head down there soonish to find out the exact details. But i havnt been advised about any issues with the driveway as of yet. Will be in contact again today to find out all the details of what exactly needs to be done. At least i hope they get the garage in before they close end of next week. Re: Ellenbrook Build - Starting Up 371Jan 09, 2015 10:29 am Build still going. After a few more things that have to be done. Had to organize through the motor for the garage door myself to get it on priority otherwise it would of taken till the end of the month. (thought i would of had it already since last year when the garage door was actually installed...) Unfortunately it will wont be installed till mid this month and the other items that have to be done i have no idea when they will happen. So chances are wont be moving into the house till...well dare i say it end of jan or even beginning of feb. Just want the house to be done now...im sure they would have everything as HIGH priority as its now slowly coming upto 2 years 1 month. Re: Ellenbrook Build - Starting Up 372Jan 13, 2015 11:52 am Well just finally booked our Practical Inspection for next Friday. So hope i can sign everything off then get all the final payments sorted the following week then be in first week of Feb. In a perfect world. Re: Ellenbrook Build - Starting Up 373Jan 23, 2015 9:04 pm So we had our prestart today....finally. So everything went well in the end with the prestart, some minor things they will fix within the next few days like little painting, checking on the garage door and some other fixes but overall was happy with the final outcome. So im hoping to get keys next week more than likely on the Friday seeing its long weekend. Already sent through the final payments etc so just need the bank to value the house. Re: Ellenbrook Build - Starting Up 374Jan 25, 2015 11:10 am I think you mean PCI not prestart Yay to finally getting keys soon Thank you so much everyone. This all makes a lot of sense.
